Even YouTube Tries To Stifle McCain Campaign In Lockstep With MSM

The people in Hollywood and the music industry have been brutal to John McCain in his campaign and if I were he and lose this election because of their unfair requests and threats to operators of YouTube and Google Video for fair usage of their material I'd be hounding them like a bad dream since they are so interested in stifling free speech.

Like perhaps seeking treason charges against the stars that routinely aid and abet the enemies of this country during wartime and routinely threatened the sitting president over the past 8 years, and let's see how they like being hounded and berated as they've done to him.

Stifled by copyright, McCain asks YouTube to consider Fair Use |

Reclaim the Media: "After seeings its videos repeatedly removed from YouTube, John McCain's campaign on Monday told the Google-owned video site that its copyright infringement policies are stringent to the point of stifling free speech, and that its lawyers need to revamp the way they evaluate copyright infringement claims.

'We fully understand that YouTube may receive too many videos, and too many take-down notices, to be able to conduct full fair-use review of all such notices,' wrote Trevor Potter, the campaign's general counsel, in a letter to YouTube and Google. 'But we believe it would consume few resources — and provide enormous benefit — for YouTube to commit a full legal review of all take-down notices on videos posted from accounts controlled by (at least) political candidates and campaigns.'

The McCain campaign's web video ads have been repeatedly either knocked off YouTube or have had to be revamped for using excerpts of television debate footage, and pop songs as soundtracks, without negotiating for the rights first.

One of its highest profile hits on the web, 'Obama Love,' for example, faced an embarrassing revamp in July when YouTube received a DMCA take-down notice from The Warner Music Group. The campaign had used Franki Valli's hit tune 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of" continued
